Happy 7th Birthday, Grace! Thank you for being such an important part of our family....for making us smile, for the optimism you always share, for the servant's heart, and for the beautiful young lady you are becoming! We know God has BIG THINGS planned for our princess and it is our joy to watch it all unfold....We love you, Grace!

Harris Family of Five....Thanksgiving Day 2008

Janet read some scripture and then we all had to draw pictures of what we are thankful for and share with the group.

The Johnson's have an amazing home located out at Life Action's Retreat and Conference Center. Their original house burned almost two years ago and they re-built this gorgeous home. We are so grateful they allowed us to be a part of their first thanksgiving in their new home.

Hey Everyone...We just wanted to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! This year will be a little different for us....not being with family. But..we have been so blessed and God has provided a "family" here in Michiana for us to spend the day with...well, really, 3 other families. We are looking forward to an amazing day with our friends! I have made a pumpkin pie (Paula Deen's recipe) and a chocolate chip pecan pie and some brownies. I am also taking some sweet tea and rolls (both just as good as those sweet desserts!).If you are reading this blog....we are thankful for you! I could make lists and lists of all that I am thankful for but it all has to do with one thing....JESUS! Without Him, my life is nothing! Have a wonderful day and don't eat too much!!!Leigh Ann

We woke up this morning to about 8 inches of snow! It was snowing and covering our driveway just as fast as Mike could shovel....

After we finished our schoolwork, we headed out to Life Action's Retreat and Conference Center (Family Camp) for some fun sledding and hanging out with friends. This is a picture of "the hill" and where all the kids were having a blast!!

On Saturday, we celebrated Graham's 11th birthday just hanging out with one of his friends, playing X-box, opening a few gifts, trading football cards, watching the GA game, eating some cake, receiving lots of cards in the mail, and finishing off the day at his favorite Bar-B-Q restaurant. Sounds like a guy-day, huh?Happy Birthday!!

Graham and Grace finished up their art classes this week and participated in the art festival last night. They both received awards for their hard work and creativity in the class.

Grace is posing with her 3-D bowl of fruit.

We spent some time Friday afternoon hanging out with some friends and playing with their new puppies. They could not let us leave without a little birthday party for Graham. Thank you, Brandts, for remembering and honoring Graham on his special day.

One of the things Graham wanted to do for his birthday was go to the homeschool bowling on Friday....so I took the kids and we had a great time. It's amazing how good they are with the bumpers up.

This blog represents our journey...a journey of serving the Lord! We have not arrived. God continues to change our hearts to make them more like His. So far, this journey led us to sell our business in Georgia, raise our own financial support and move to Northern Indiana to serve with Life Action Ministries. It has also taken us down the amazing road of adoption...to China... and down an incredible road of homeschooling our children. Thanks for joining us! You never know where the journey will lead us next....
